Red Hill Training Run

 Today I ran to the top of Red Hill  Beacon Road.  It has 1500 ft in elevation from my house to the top.  As I was running I was thinking about the comparison of the vertical gain I need to make in my training.  I think I will keep this as a Saturday training ritual.  I know that hill running can be good for your vertical and I really like th solitude and challenge of getting to the top of the hill.  Today I ran it in about 4 minutes faster than my previous time.  As I get in better shape I feel more confident about increasing my lower body training routine to really work on the jumping.
